Survivors

The arc

I open my eyes slightly, blinking wildly to adjust to the lights. I breathe in coughing a few times due to the change in air quality. Loki looks at me with concern. 'I'm fine, really' I say more as a whisper. He grips onto my shoulder guiding me through their ship.

We turn a corner and notice a couple of people in the hallway, an official looking man and a boy around my age. The official is trying to coarse the boy to shoot the chancellor.

'Look Bellamy, you want to go with your sister, on that dropship you are just going to have to do a job for me first. Its simple.' He states to the boy.

I breathe in shock 'Bellamy?' I whisper. 'You know that boy?' Loki asks, 'Kinda, I created a computer chatroom to gain intel about the ships crew. He was a soldier. His sister was born Illegally and was jailed.' I explain to him. 'Oh' he replies.

We listen back into the conversation, moving closer to them, for Loki's sake, since he cant hear them as well as I can.

Standing within a few steps, we see the official passing Bellamy a small gun. He agrees to shoot him.

I take a deep breath feeling remorse for him. Before I have a chance to move away, the official is walking in the opposite direction to us as Bellamy walks into me.

He brushes against my arm. 'What the-?' He says, trying to hide the weapon. We decide to follow him.  Dropping a few floors we notice all of the kids being carried or walking freely in the direction of the dropship. Loki walks with me, arm either on my shoulder or around my waist the entire time.

Stopping abruptly to one side infront of the ship to notice the levels of seats. As it appears everyone is almost settled.

 I turn to Loki, 'looks like its time for me to go' I say looking upto him.
 'Em, are you sure you want to do this?' He asks with worry laced in his voice.
'I can do it Loki, don't worry about me. Im practically immoral! I will call when we are on the surface, okay? You better respond' I say laughing slightly.
 
Loki brushes a strand of hair out of my face. 'Be careful when you are down there, things will have mutated and will almost certainly want to kill you. Watch your back.' He states.
I stand on my tiptoes and plant a small kiss to his cheek, I hug him tightly. 'Stay good whilst im gone' I comment 'I can assure you Em, I'll be on my best behaviour' he gives his classic smirk.

I punch him on the shoulder and whisper 'jerk' 'bitch' he says in retaliation. I remain invisible as I walk to the dropship. I get inside remaining silent.

The scene with Bellamy runs in fast forward. The chancellor is shot and Bellamy is pushed into the ship. He hits into me as he goes back. As the door is shut I wave my goodbyes to Loki as he vanishes and I become visable.

'Who the hell are you? How did you just do that?!' Bellamy asks. 'Uh... Hi' I say with shaky breaths. 'How did you do that?!' He asks. 'Do what? ' I say with a scream as the ship drops. I whisper 'gravitus' and my feet stick to the floor. He hits his head off of the ceiling and grunts in pain as I grab his arm, causing the spell to make his feet stick to the floor too.

Bellamy tries to let go of my hand but I dont let him. 'It would be in your best interest to keep holding my hand Bellamy!' I shout. He looks at me in confusion 'How do you know my name?'he shouts 'It doesnt matter how, all that matters is that you listen and do whatever I say' I respond with the sound of the ship breaking through the atmosphere hurting my ears.

He remains quiet and still in shock, I hear his heart rate increase in panic. Some kids unclip themselves from their seats and start floating. A girl shouts at them to get back into their seats to no result. The ships hull increases in temperature. I hear the girl scream out 'I thought we were meant to start slowing down, we should have by now!' I place my hand on the hull and feel the heat, I focus all my strength on releasing anything that would slow us down all whilst keeping myself and Bellamy on the floor. I look to him and shake his arm.

'I need to let you go but you have to trust me.' I shout to him. He nods in response.
